Bishopsgate House Hotel and Restaurant in Beaumaris on the Isle of Anglesey is an 18^th century Georgian town house, full of period charm. The property was originally built as a dower house but now serves as a small hotel. There are constant reminders of the hotel’s past, such as an abundance of antique furniture, collections of glass and china, and a Chinese Chippendale staircase which is believed to be one of the country’s finest.

Each of the nine en-suite rooms has its own character, and two even boast four poster beds.
